Yesterday I was reading about a young person that had jumped off a bridge. I think it was the Golden Gate, and in the persons belongings they found a note that read " If one person smiles at me before I get to the bridge, I won't jump" Never underestimate the power of a simple gesture - like a smile. It truly can change the course of someone's life.
Have a beautiful day!
Sending a smile your way on this beautiful Sunday! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!xxoo
ReplyDeleteWow - I wish someone had of smiled at that jumper. What a sad story but it shows the power of a smile. Turn that frown ~ up-side-down! Have a happy Sunday Cathi!
ReplyDeleteYes. This is so, so important, Cathi. Big hugs, ny friend.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is so sad..... :(
ReplyDeleteGreat post Cathi xo
It's always magical when you smile at a stranger, and they smile back at you. Completely makes my day.
ReplyDeleteps: I always feel your smiles at me through your lovely blog comments!
So sad- it really makes a person to stop and think how one simple gesture can really go a long way.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, that's so sad. Isn't it awful to think that a smile could have saved her. I will smile even more tomorrow. XXXX
ReplyDeleteHow awful. A smile does change everything -- it's a simple, perfect gift.
ReplyDeleteMe too! x
ReplyDeleteA small gesture can mean so much! Thanks for you lovely comment yesterday on our house and garden. Leigh
ReplyDeleteThis gave me the chills. Maybe it's because I'm living in a new city, but I feel like people don't smile as much here as they do in the South. I know I don't smile as much for no reason or in response. A man told me last week not to look so serious. I should remember to smile :)
ReplyDeleteWow. Thank you so much for sharing this. I love smiling at strangers, always hoping it will brighten someone's day. I'm afraid, however, that most of the time they might think I'm a big goober instead. After reading this, I know I will make a constant effort to keep grining.
ReplyDeleteThat is unbelievably sad!
ReplyDeleteI for one am sending a smile your way my friend :)
